NAD C389 Integrated Amplifier - Clearance / Open Box
Open box items that are rated a 9/10 or lower after our 10-point inspection, and have a steeper discount. Anything that does not meet our strict Gold Badge requirements is described in the item listing.
The NAD C 389 Integrated DAC Amplifier, with or without BluOS high-res music streaming and Dirac Live room correction
can serve as the cornerstone of a high-performance audio system now – and for decades to come. Employing NAD’s proven HybridDigital UcD amplifier design and the same ESS Sabre DAC used in NAD’s acclaimed M33 BluOS streaming amplifier, the C 389 will deliver thrilling dynamics and exquisite detail from all your sources.
With its full suite of digital and analogue inputs, including an ultra-low-noise phono stage and HDMI eARC interface, the C 389 can accommodate all your source components. And it incorporates the latest generation of NAD’s Modular Designs Construction future-proofing technology.
MDC2 BluOS-D module adds BluOS Hi-Res multi-room music streaming and Dirac Live room correction is included with the C389-BluOS, or can be added to the standard C389.
Customized HybridDigital UcD amplifier in fully balanced bridged configuration
Continuous Power: 130 Watts per channel into 8/4 ohms
Instantaneous Power: 210 W into 8 ohms, 300 W into 4 ohms, 350 Watts per channel
Vanishingly low harmonic and intermodulation distortion
Nearly unmeasurable noise through the entire audioband
Dual MDC2 ports for expanded functionality
Jitter-free 32-bit/384kHz ESS Sabre 9028 DAC
Ultra-low-noise MM phono stage with infrasonic filtering circuitry
Two optical, two coaxial digital inputs
HDMI-eARC input
Two pairs of line-level analogue inputs with ultra-low-noise buffer amplifiers
Two sets of speaker outputs
Two-way Qualcomm aptX HD Bluetooth
Dual subwoofer outputs
Dedicated headphone amplifier
CI-Friendly – IR remote, 12V Trigger in/out, IR in/out, RS-232 Serial port
Seamless integrations with smarthome control systems such as Control4, Crestron, RTI, URC, Lutron, and Elan
For years I have been a big fan of NAD amplifier technology. Adding in the convenience of BluOS and the abilities of Dirac Live, make the C 389 (with BluOS) a complete performance package!
